The new Grand Commander is a graduate of Indiana University, where he earned a degree in forensic studies.

Following graduation he was a detective with the Fort Wayne Police Department for ten years before joining his father in the operation of the All Rite Distributing Company, Inc., in Fort Wayne in 1983.

He is currently president of the firm.

A Freemason since 1974, McNaughton was Master of Maumee Lodge No. 725, Fort Wayne. In the Scottish Rite Valley of Fort Wayne, he was the presiding officer of the Lodge of Perfection in 1996.
